What is ASAP?

CUNY’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) assists students in earning associate degrees within three years by providing a range of financial, academic, and personal supports including comprehensive and personalized advisement, career counseling, tutoring, tuition waivers, MTA MetroCards, and additional financial assistance to defray the cost of textbooks.

ASAP also offers special class scheduling options to ensure that ASAP students get the classes they need and are in classes with other ASAP students. As students approach graduation they receive special supports to help them transfer to 4-year colleges or transition into the workforce, depending on their goals.

There’s no debate. ASAP works!
